How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A grand, reverent adaptation of Genesis's foundational stories rendered with 1960s spectacle and solemnity. This is biblical narrative as monumental cinema, intimate in its human moments, overwhelming in its cosmic scope.
